The house next door had been empty for so long that we had quite 1 what it was like to have neighbors. One day, however, a truck 2 near our front gate, and in a short time, tables, chairs, pictures and countless 3 things were heaped up by the roadside. A small car 4 out of which came a man, a woman and five children of 5 ages. The children laughed happily as the whole family went into the house. It was our first 6 to the Robinsons.

　　Though we became friends with our new neighbors, we were often made 7 by them. We lent them so many things that we never know whether 8 had been lost or borrowed. Our garden became an unsafe place; little boys 9 cowboys or fighters would jump up from behind-bushes, 10 wooden gums at us and order us to 11 . Even 12 were the arrows that occasionally came sailing 13 the garden fence.

　　 14 we didn't go in fear of our lives. The Robinsons were friendly and helpful and 15 we left our house for the holidays, we knew we had nothing to 16 so long as our neighbors were around. We understood what it was to have company in the long, friendless winter evening when Mrs Robinson would 17 for a cup of tea and a chat; or when Mr Robinson would lean over the fence and 18 endlessly with father about gardening 19 . The 20 house next door was filled with life and joy.
